gpiccoli, great finding! Indeed it seems debian-installer interprets console= arguments and prefers the *last* one:
rootskel-1.115ubuntu1/src/sbin/reopen-console-linux: if [ -z "$console" ]; then # Locate the last enabled console present on the command line for arg in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do case $arg in console=*) arg=${arg#console=} cons=${arg%%,*} if echo "$consoles" | grep -q "^$cons$"; then console=$cons fi ;; esac done fi if [ -z "$console" ]; then # Still nothing? Default to /dev/console. console=console fi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615021 Title: Unable to network boot Ubuntu 16.04 installer normally on Briggs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+bug/1615021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
